⚡️ The researcher discovered a "detailed data collection" inside the LEDGER Live application.

Experts have discovered that the world's largest manufacturer of Ledger hardware wallets conducts large—scale collection of user data through its Ledger Live software - it is used to manage crypto wallets, transmits information about clicks, page visits, redirects, cryptotransactions and other user actions to the analytics service segment.io .

The discovery was made by REKTbuildr, calling it a "giant user tracking system." While Ledger Live does not transmit private keys or recovery phrases, the user data being sent may increase the risk of ransomware attacks.
